2006! Another new year for me. New year is always a special day for me. It signifies a new beginning, a fresh start, where I kind of get a new chance to better live my life! The past is still there but like its name, it is the past. What happened in 2005 will no longer matter in 2006, at least not directly. All the unhappiness in 2005 will stay in 2005. All the failures will stay there too!
2005 has been crazy! Haha... It was indeed one bizarre ride through this part of my life! You can say that it liken one of those Ghost House's ride. You get scares here and there, with moments of peace for you to catch your breaths. At the start of 2005, everything seemed normal and I was on track in life, with a blessing from God, my job in Creative. A blessing because, first of all, I will no longer be unemployed and secondly, it offers better starting pay for a diploma graduate like myself! However, it was also in this year that things started to happen. Unhappiness, disappointments, resentment and many others... I got my taste of what it is really like to be a TRUE Christian, a true worshipper of God.
My lowest point in life so far was in this year. It was kinda in the middle of the year where everything was not going right for me. Like the roaring waves, it started ram against me; consuming my energy, my faith, my hope and me in totality. As time passed, it began to rob me of my joy and the inner peace. It was so bad that for the first time, I pondered on what it would be like if I were to go through this with the love of God. I was encouraged, blessed and honored to be bestowed with this gift, the love of God. I guess I would be totally devastated to the point of ending my life if I had to go through it without God and of course, my friends.
It was also in this year that I had kind of a personal breakthrough. Firstly, I got myself a sweet and patient girl. Saying I will cherish her is definitely an understatement. Secondly, on a personal level, I learnt to be more independent and to see things from a broader view. There are things in life that happen, which make you think twice about your past actions and perspective. I would very much like to think that life is all sweet and it is like a box of chocolate. However, the opposite is true. Life is dark and going through it is like riding on a small boat, trying to find your way to your ultimate destination. Thus the verse, which is before me, on my monitor (I sticked it onto my monitor months back!) :
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 1 Peter 5:8
As I started to prepare myself for the new year a few days back, I began to think about what I want to achieve in 2006 and years after. I thought about my studies, my career, my love life and what I want to achieve as a son to my parents, a brother to my siblings, a friend to others and a child to God. There were so many things to consider and thereis only so much you can plan. I started to draw out a plan in my mind, penning some others on a piece of paper. Budget, my new rooom layout, savings, etc... began to form. I was glad. I really do believe in this saying, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." However, to stop at this is frivolous too! There is another saying: "Actions speaks louder than words." Therefore, in the new year, not only am I planning, I will try my best to bring out the actions!
Apart from planning on what to do in the new year, I seeked to mend those things that are broken, eg. relationships. I believe that in a year, alot of things can happen, especially in a relationship! One moment, two people can be as close as brothers. The next, the can be the most hated enemies. I did have similar encounters but not to the extent of enemies. We have kind of stop communicating as much. Our status has fallen to that of mere hi-bye friends. I sent out messages to state my desire, desire to reconcile. What I really desire is to apologize and hope that our relationship can improve thereafter. However, as this is a two sided affair, I could not really do much. I have signalled my intentions and like what I have told a friend, "I am a Christian and I have FAITH and HOPE that things will work out!" What matter most is that I, on my part, have put in the necessary effort. With that, I will have to put my faith into the hope that things will ultimately turn out just fine. I am also glad that I started to make moves in the family this Christmas. This is the first year I bought them Christmas gifts. They may not be much but I guess they are all steps toward building a greater relationship and bonding in the family.
I am glad that towards the end of 2005, things started to fall back into place. With the help of my God, girlfriend and friends, I began to feel love and joy. It really does not matter what happen in the middle! It is the end that matters. What matter most was that I did not give up on life when the going was tough. I guess we all have to go through periods in life where it really makes you think. I have just gone through one of those times. Don't really feel great when I am in it. However, going through it was definitely an experience!
Just want to end off by saying sorry, and I mean it, to every single hearts whom I have hurt, either by my words or actions. I believe that I was insensitive to your feelings. Please do accept my apologies. I am unable to apologize to every single person personally but I want you all to know that this means just as much! I love you all!
Lastly, I want to thank God for His love and His patience. I believe that everyone has their own view on a particular situation but there is really no point in arguing about whose view is correct. I just trust that God will continue to blow my sail into His direction, as I began to paddle, in a small little boat in a vast endless ocean, where the sunrise is a reminder to me that there is always a new day (hope) tomorrow.

Christmas 2005
Today marks the EVE of a special day, CHRISTMAS! Christmas, like always, is a day of celebrations, gift givings and in particular, it is a day where joy can be tangibly felt! If you do not believe me, just walk around during Christmas day and you will know that it is not like any other day. Wherever you go, you will be able to feel this strange joy in you, with nothing tangible triggering it. Until this day, it still amazes me.
It is definitely more than the gift and the Santa Claus. For me, I would like to think that it is because it is indeed a special day, a day where our Saviour, Jesus Christ, is borned.
This Christmas for me is special in many ways. This is going to be my first Christmas since 2002 where I am not going to spend it with my church friends. Instead, this will be the first Christmas I am spending it with my partner! This is also the first time I am giving Christmas gifts to my family and I really enjoyed myself! Oh! I miss my Drama team too!!! It was during a Christmas production that I was asked to help. Subsequently, it was there that I was brought into the Drama team! Love you guys!
Christmas is more than just a calendar holiday for me. Especially this year where many things happened for me. Christmas reminds me of a new birth and a new hope. 2006 will defintely be a different year for me. I know it will. I love Christmas.
On Christmas day itself, I will, for the first time, be spending it with my girlfriend and my family. As you know, my grandma is really sick now and the entire family just want to spend it with her, to encourage her and to shower love onto her. We will be having our first gift exchange. This is definitely first for me. Wondering on the gift I am going to get. OOPs. Hehe... Nah... Looking forward a great time I am going to have with them all! =)
Alright people, that's all from me! I wish you that you will have a great and enjoyable Christmas. May this Christmas be a meaningful one to you! Let the joy that's in the air renew you! At the same time, I want to wish you all a Happy new year too! God bless! =)

Great start to a Great week!
After such a "scary" past week, my monday kicked off without much happenings! Haha... That means that this is going to be a GREAT week! Ah... I wonder what is going to happen next. After a series of unfortunate events, I would believe that good things are going to follow! So now, I am really looking forward to my blessings! Haha... Oh... and what a great time to be blessed, since Christmas is coming!
Just finished my work for the day and I am looking forward to a wonderful evening! I will be going to check out on some mobile phone plans and the price of a Nokia 3230! My contract is up and it is time to sign a new contract and reward myself with a new phone! Haha... Now that I am working, I guess my budget can increase! This phone, which I am looking at, will cost me around $200 together with the mobile plan! Hmm... However, the phone has a shortcoming. It can get laggy at times. I really love the functions and features of the phone though. I guess I have to make a decision then! I will be spending my evening thinking and checking out more about it!
Lastly, Christmas is just around the corner. I wonder how I will be spending this Christmas. Last Christmas, I was busy preparing for my church's drama production. This Christmas? Haha... I have time, as I am not involved in the upcoming production. I guess I will be doing some shopping then, to get gifts for my loved ones, family members to be precise. If I really do manage to get presents for them, this, I guess, will be the very first time I am doing such a thing! I don't think that I have given Christmas gifts to my family members before. Haha... It is going to be awkward, giving presents to my mum and dad! We are Asians and I do get awkward when we get too mushy! Haha... Christmas is a season of giving, right? I guess I will make this move and start being more giving and loving! Ah... a scary, yet fulfilling task.
Gotta stay positive in life and to grab on to the hope! I am going to have a great end to my year, 2005! I believe! =)

Choice: Rejoice!
Wow! I am totally amazed at what had happened throughout the past week! It was one of the worst weeks in my whole entire life. I have not had so much things, be it big or small, happened to me in a matter of a week!
At the start of the week, I spilled a cup of beverage on my work table and some of my papers were soaked. Some of it even got into my keyboard and not to mention, dirtying the carpet, making it stink. Then throughout the week, more accidents happened. Then just yesterday, after alighting from the cab, I had the shock of my life! I left my wallet in the cab! This is indeed a first for me! I have never lost my wallet before after I got my identity card. However, thank God, the wallet came back to me at the end of the day, all thanks to a helpful cabby!
Then like an icing to a cake, my harddisk crashed! The one where all the essential data are stored crashed! There goes my digital photographs and all of the other important files, which I have in it! My music, movies, sermons... they are all gone! This is the second time my harddisk died on me. The first, I lost a few hundreds of pieces of memories too, my photographs. This time, I lost even more. However, thank God that I had done a backup about a month ago. Therefore, the loss is still not that bad. I am really perplexed now! Things are really not going smoothly for me this week. Everything that can go bad went bad!
However, my spirits are still high! I am not defeated. Thank God that these are all material stuff. All the lost memories and data only makes me realise the importance of backing up and to cherish the new memories ahead! Though my heart aches, I do feel strengthened. Week like this only strength and reduce my reliance on material things; showing me that all these are temporary and that it can one day die/disappear from the face of this earth! I can still praise God and thank Him for everything else and for the strength to go through this week.
I just want to really thank God for the wallet episode. When I realised that I had left the wallet in the cab, I could have gone crazy and panic but these was this hope and peace in me. I prayed and really lifted the burden up to God. I did what I can, trying to recall the cab's company and making a call to make a report for the lost. All I could do was to wait and hope. I could not run around to locate the cab. I could not call the cabby, as I did not have his contact. However, God gave me strength to stay calm and hope to keep my faith strong! Praise God for such a wonderful week amidst all the bad encounters and experiences! I will rejoice in all things for worrying and lamenting do not bring forth a change! I will stay positive!

Wonderful Weekend!
The weekend that has just passed was awesome. Not only did I start going to gym again, I went to East Coast park for a great cycling and sun tanning session on sunday! What more can I ask for? Haha... I guess this is a good way to get myself back to the pathway towards a greater physique and health!
I have been down with a series of illness, eg. diarrhea, flu and headaches for the past two to three weeks and that has kind of hold back my progress towards a better health! Hmm... I guess I have to keep myself healthy, so that I can get myself healthier! Have been having much more suppers because of my girlfriend! Haha... she is not fat, so I guess she can afford! Being the GOOD boyfriend that I am, of course, I will accompany her out for suppers! Haha!
Ok... so my resolution for Decemeber will be to not fall sick and to be consistent in visiting the gym and at least run once every week! Strength, determiniation, belief and hope is what I need! I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! Haha... A healthy and toned body is what I am working towards to!
That's so much for this post! A post to remind myself to keep fit physically. As a result, I believe I will be healthy emotionally too! :)
